+%__foo_requires 	/some/script %{NAME} %{VERSION}
+```
+
+In addition to the globally defined macros, the following macros are exported to
+generators on a sub-package basis (Added: 4.15.0):
+
+```
+%{NAME}
+%{EPOCH}
+%{VERSION}
+%{RELEASE}
+```
+
+Note that the *OrderWithRequires* tag will only appear in RPM >= 4.17.0.

This little cowboy is a long long way from home :smile:

The remark belongs to a section where different generators types are introduced, and should instead be in the form of "Added: 4.17.0" instead of this strange future expression.

And, that makes me think that we should have an explicit list of the supported generator (dependency) types. It's currently a bit hard to decipher. That's perhaps another point for using _NAME_DEPTYPE_foo in the SYNOPSIS.
